Teenage Wildlife Lyrics

Artist: David Bowie
Album: Scary Monsters

Well, how come you only want tomorrowWith its promise of something hard to doA real life adventure worth more than pieces of goldBlue skies above and sun on your arms strength your strideAnd hope in those squeaky clean eyesYou'll get chilly receptions everywhere you goBlinded with desire - I guess the season is on

So you train by shadow boxing, search for the truthBut it's all, but it's all used upBreak open your million dollar weaponAnd push your luck, still you push, still you push yourluckA broken nosed mogul are youOne of the new wave boys

Same old thing in brand new dragComes sweeping into view, oh ho ho ho ho hoAs ugly as a teenage millionairePretending it's a whizz kid worldYou'll take me aside, and say"Well, David, what shall I do?They wait for me in the hallway"I'll say "Don't ask me, I don't know any hallways"But they move in numbers and they've got me in a cornerI feel like a group of one, no-noThey can't do this to meI'm not some piece of teenage wildlife

Those midwives to history put on their bloody robesThe word is that the hunted one is out there on his ownAnd you're alone for maybe the last timeAnd you breathe for a long timeThen you howl like a wolf in a trapAnd you daren't look behind

You fall to the ground like a leaf from the treeAnd look up one time at that vast blue skyScream out aloud as they shoot you downNo no, I'm not a piece of teenage wildlifeI'm not a piece of teenage wildlife

And no one will have seen and no one will confessThe fingerprints will prove that you coudn't pass the testThere'll be others on the line filing past, who'll whisper lowI miss you he really had to goWell each to his own, he wasAnother piece of teenage wildlife, oh oh oh oh ohAnother piece of teenage wildlife, oh oh oh oh ohAnother piece of teenage wild...WildWildWild
